This is how this painting looked with a simple frame that I made. I usually make these frames for smaller paintings, like 6 x 6 inches, but works for larger ones too. The new owner was happy with the result.

This is one of my newest bird's nest paintings. I have tried to push them be more abstract, where it is not as important to read them as bird's nests. In the end, I want them to be bold, colorful and fun.

I'm not suppose to post this yet, but I wanted to share a painting that show where I am right now. I want to go outside my comfort zone without loosing my identity. It is a fine line between loosing control and being in control.

When I paint, I don't have a finished painting in my head. It is a progress that depend on what I feel and every brush stroke will have impact on the finished painting. Part of going outside my comfort zone is to not letting a bad start have an impact, to keep painting.

This painting slowly came together and there were many times that I wanted to quit, but I really like the end result. Organized chaos.

My style of painting is personal and can be very complex in it's simplicity. Like many things in history, there is an action and a reaction. In my case I like to go from complex over the top to simple and restrained. That is why I like to do a single apple for an example and give it a personal touch.

This was my 2nd black and white abstract painting. It is strange to work without colors. Especially since I use a lot of it. I tried to keep this one light, in contrast to the first one I did. My goal when I do non-figurative abstract art is to keep it recognizable me. It is important to keep my signature style.

This is one of my newest bird nest paintings. I still got some old ones that I haven't posted, but they are rougher, not sure if I will post them or not. This new series of nests are clean, colorful and graphic, I like them a lot.

This is one of three paintings that I did simultaneously. They are very different in colors, but they got the same expression. I posted one earlier. I rarely work on more than one at once, but there are advantages if I know where I am going.

Going non-figurative abstract really gives me the opportunity to go outside my comfort zone and pushing my boundaries. I think that helps me in general and be present when I paint flowers, bird's nests etc.

This abstract painting is in the same style as earlier ones, but I pushed the light parts. I tend to avoid light colors since one of my trade marks is my light line work. That is something that I am experimenting with.

53 year old Swedish painter.
I try to paint daily, and painting has become more than a hobby, it has become a passion.
What drives me to paint is to create compositions, interpreting objects, and create something that is personal. When people see my paintings I hope that they recognize my style and know who painted them.
